Champions League 23/24

[te amo barca]

Jesus, people overrate this Inter team to high heavens. They would've went out in the groups last season if Pique didn't give the match away. Then survived by pure luck vs Porto in Last 16.

They are a good team that got sent home by a similar quality team in Atletico. That's it. Both top 8 teams.

This is just a dumb take. They are well-drilled and dominating Serie A. They were better than City last year in the final and should have won if not for Lukaku's defending skills.

It's just in general there are no super top teams like 12/13 Bayern, Pep's Barca or Zidane's Madrid anymore. It's much more even and any team can knockout any other team. Leipzig were better than Madrid over both legs.

Even City look mediocre this season.

City are in a tier of their own obviously so let's leave them out of the discussion.

Bayern and PSG are the worst matchups for us since we cannot handle all that pace.

Arsenal and Real Madrid would be favorites vs. us, but we can take them out if we don't play naively like we did in the Supercopa.

We'd be favorites vs. Atletico and BVB IMO.

Like I said. A good team that got sent home by a similar quality team. Very even tie vs similar quality sides.

Stop posting stupid stuff

Inter are like 3 tiers above Pathetico. I know you don't know them, and don't watch them
That doesn't give your the right to utter whatever easy nonsense comes to your head

 

[jamrock]

Those are things that happen in high pressure CL games though... be like saying "Inter would have won this if Acerbi didnt fall over and miss an easy clearance".
Thats why it is not as easy to predict as you always claim and worse teams frequently make progress.

I hope you remember that last bit and had that same energy for us last season.

This reads like stupid stuff after tonight.

Atletico 6 points clear of us in the CWC now. No way we catch up, should give that whole thing up.

Unless Xavi brings it home.

Yes isolated bad results can happen but needs to prove to be isolated and not a trend.

Xavi is beaten with that stick because his European win rate is like 40% or something.

You know that in a knock-out tie anything can happen, right?

 

[DonAK]

Xavi hasn't exactly deserved much of the benefit of doubt considering we were humiliated versus Frankfurt and then had Man Utd eliminate us as well, two teams we were favoured to beat.

But hey now is the time for him to go on a voodoo run if ever. I'd welcome it.

 

[serghei]

We weren't favored to beat United last season. Was a 50-50 tie considering we missed some key players.

I believe you when you say inter plays nicer football. But the mental side of things is huge in cl

 

[serghei]

Anyway, a huge disappointment for Inter and deserved win by Atletico. Simeone is a great manager.

They were missing more players than we were..

Which players? They had a donkey like Weghorst starting both games for them.
